Application filed. June 27, 1907.

To all 'whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, HENRY W. BowMnN and J AMES W. MTLLs, citizens of the United States, residing at B'arbourville, in the county of Knox and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Oil-Can Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

The invention relates to oil cans and the like, and has for its object to provide a simple, inexpensive and efficient device adapted to contain oil or other liquid ingreclients, and which is provided with novel means for conveniently attaching a funnel thereto.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawing, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view of a combined oilcan, and funnel, constructed inaccordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. 3 is a top lan view. i

Referring to the drawings, '1 designates an ordinary oil-can on the spout of which, is mounted a funnel 2. The funnel 2, is pro- Fig.

serial No. 381,115.

vided with a down-turned rim 3, adapted to be engaged by a spring actuated dog` or detent 4. The dog 4 is connected with the can in any suitable manner, and the upper part thereof passes through a slot 5, which is formed in the upper part of the handle 6 of the oil-can. This slot also serves as a guide for the dog. It will be seen that this funnel can be conveniently snapped on to any ordi nary can and that the dog or detent will hold the same until it has been released. The slot 5, has connected with it, a recess which is adapted to hold the dog disengaged from the rim, when desired. i

What is claimed is,

The combination of an oil-can, having a funnel mounted on the spout thereof, said funnel having a curved portion 3, a handle mounted on said can, a dog also mounted on said can, and passing upward through a slot in said handle, and adapted to engage said funnel, substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof wel hereunto affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
